Reccomendations and Resources.
I will be regularly adding to these, so please check back often :)
I have compiled a list of books that have been transformative for me in my journey of alchemising fear into beauty.
This book is my number one - it is such a simple read and something that can be held on hand to read over and over or flip to a page at any time for a message.
It really gives us a clear outline of the way in which we create the fear we hold with our thoughts and actions and some extremely simple steps to implement to lead us towards a fearless life.

The alchemist is beautiful tale that i believe wakes us to the opportunity and synchronistic guidance of the universe and the bigger picture that life has to offer us and these are something that the flower essences instill in us too.
3. Women Who Run With The Wolves
‘In the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us about the 'wild woman', the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power. For centuries, the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions. Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework, Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy, passionate and wise.’
This book has been very influential in unpacking some of my own psyche. It is a book that tends to call to me at moments far between, thought seemingly at the very moment i need what it has to offer me next.
Words can not express just how beautiful and heart melting this book is, it provokes something inside of you that alters the way you move through the world. A must read,
‘A graceful, illuminating study of the wisdom of the natural world, from a world-renowned indigenous scientist’
I must up my reading game as this book has been sitting by patiently waiting for me to pick her up. I have heard nothing but good things about this book and i thought it a fitting month to add to the list!
Has anyone else read this one?
A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller -The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal--and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.
I highly recommend for all partaking in the Blooming, listening to my podcast The Flower Prophecies, This will not only give you more insight into how it is the flower essences work, but it can open you up to the levels and possibilities of how they are working with you.

ASTRO INSIGHTS
The universe and nature work in magical ways, and it never stops surprising me just synchronistically the flower remedies work. I find that more often than not the remedies work inter connectedly with what is unfolding in the cosmos and I find it both reaffirming and insightful to reflect on what transits are happening to enhance the effects of the remedies and work I am doing.
I will share an outline of the Moon phases each month with prompts to work with each phase.
The lunar cycle can be seen as one of the most paralleled and intimate cycles unto ourselves. It’s tidal force acts as expander of our fluid emotional states, needs and our deepest feelings.
Seen as the feminine or mother archetype in many traditions, the moons undulations when worked with, can be viewed as our ultimate healer, nurturer and illuminator of self.
